Please note that to successfully complete this course, you’ll need:

  • Familiarity with general computer skills (navigating webpages, saving files, opening files, &c.).
  • Ability to install and access Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. (Downloading the free trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC requires a credit card.)
  • Access to a color contrast checking tool, either by downloading and installing one (such as the Colour Contrast Analyser) or, if you cannot download one, a web-based checker (such as the Contrast Checker).
